EASI-STRESS brings together 15 organizations under a Horizon 2020 framework, with a common goal to enhance the transfer of academic neutron and synchrotron stress measurement techniques to industry. This will involve quality assessment techniques, measurement analysis, as well as numerical and process modelling approaches and standards – to better realize the value offered by both laboratory and large scale facilities to industry and academia. More information on the EASI-STRESS programme can be reviewed here: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/953219
The successful applicant will undertake a leading role over several work packages in the overall programme. Tasks include collaborating on the design and fabrication of benchmark specimens to be subjected to a wide range of residual stress measurements, and consolidating and comparing the results from multiple sources and laboratories for the purposes of comparison. Innovative approaches will need to be developed to communicate these results in a form that can be used as benchmark components openly by any interested parties – open innovation. This final step is required for a direct impact into engineering decisions made on the basis of residual stress levels present, or for the purposes of process model validation.
